Ok I see. So to compound my show of lack of knowledge...

The g pulled is different for the same stick deflection depending on speed, but the G limit is irrelevant to the VNE limit because they are different limits. I.e you can pull max G at VNE because you are A) under the "things start getting blown off" limits; and B) under the "things start snapping" limits.

Put another way the G meter measures the total of all the G loads and any variation due to airspeed is already captured in the G load reading?

Ish ??
